What people
are saying about
Broken Heart on Hold.
"Stunning vulnerability! Linda
Rooks may be the most courageous author I have ever read. She takes
deep, vague, painful feelings and puts them into words with which you
can identify—and find relief. Every gripping story will give you
wisdom, encouragement, hope, and a map through the shadowy world of
broken marriage. If it were up to me, there would be a law that no man
could ever leave his wife without first reading this remarkable book."

When Your Marriage Dies-Answers to Questions About Separation
and Divorce
"We have been married for 47 years and have
been involved in marriage ministry for over 30 of these years, having
served in the Sponsor Couple program for engaged couples, Worldwide
Marriage Encounter for couples with with good marriages”, and
Retrouaville, a program for couples in struggling marriages. During
that time we have been privileged to experience much insight into
marriage, both through our own experience and in sharing with others.
We know that the recovery process involved in renewing a troubled
marriage often follows a painful and tortuous path, requiring
dedication and commitment from both spouses. Linda Rooks has done a
brilliant job of describing and detailing the process of recovery from
the brink of marital disaster. Linda effectively chronicles the pain
experienced by both spouses and shows that the presence of God on the
journey provides the hope necessary to persevere. While the information
is presented primarily from a women's point of view, the book offers
much insight of benefit to both spouses. While we are not speaking on
behalf of any ministry, we personally believe that the book would be a
valuable resource for all couples, no matter what their current
situation happens to be."
